The hip is the largest ball and socket joint in the body and can affect most of our daily movements when pain persists. You can experience discomfort in the front of your hip into the groin area as well as on the side of your hip extending to the mid thigh region. Hip pain can even refer into the buttocks.
Low back pain is one of the most common health concerns that send people to seek solutions from chiropractors. People may be suffering from back pain that began abruptly as a result of an accident or by lifting something heavy. With older adults, back pain can develop over time due to lack of exercise or a sedentary lifestyle.
Neck Pain is one of the most common problems that bring patients into our Cranston office. Trauma to the vertebral joints or tightness in the surrounding muscles of the neck can be caused by a variety of uncomfortable experiences including neck cracking. Often, the pain is associated with posture issues stemming from extended cellphone usage, poor work ergonomics, or lack of exercise.

Unlike so many in the medical profession, Dr. Picard takes the time needed to diagonose, explain, and treat your particular situation. He gave precise answers to every question, remembered details of every visit, and gave a personal level of attention that is hard to find these days. I would highly recommend Dr. Picard to anyone in need of chiropractic care

Dr. Picard was absolutely amazing with handling my injury with great caution and practice. He had no problem with answering questions or concerns and was highly knowledgeable in his practice. He accommodated all of my needs and was able to see me within a crunched time period. I would recommend him to anyone in need of chiropractic therapy or an injury recovery. Absolutely amazing doctor.

I was referred to Dr. Picard by a friend because I experience occasional back pain as a result of a car accident several years ago. I knew from my first visit that I would never see another doctor again for my pain and I wish I saw him a long time ago! He is kind, thorough, and amazing at what he does. My back pain instantly subsided after my first visit and continued to improve with my regularly scheduled appointments. I also experienced TMJ recently and he fixed it immediately! I love that he is a holistic practice and I can't recommend him enough! His wife also offers amazing massage services

I started seeing Dr. Richard Picard only about two months ago for pain in my entire back. I had pain from shoulder blades down to lower back. My pain/discomfort level was about 8-9. He started me with 6 sessions, ordered x-rays and a full panel of blood work. The x-rays showed thinning of my bones and curvature of my spine. Dr. Picard went through the entire blood work results with me and started me on a daily Vitamin K drop for my bone health and calcium absorption. After about 6 sessions and the posture resets he gave me, my back feels so much better! My pain/discomfort level is about a 1-2 at

I just started seeing Rick for only a few months now and I cant get over how amazing I feel and wish I had met him 15 years ago! I have been suffering for years from a car accident and no doctor could help relieve the pain/discomfort. I went to visit Rick for a consult and i was amazed my his high tech equipment. Just after the first visit, I felt relief! His office impeccably clean and his receptionist is sweet as pie. I just booked my first massage with his office as well for February and cant wait!

I started visiting Dr. Picard over a year ago because I am very active and workout quite a bit. He has helped me overcome several aches and pains and done a great job aligning me and making my life pain free. The Office personnel is very nice and accommodating which makes the whole experience wonderful. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
